  my latest blog has an “advert” (virus?) at the bottom – click to win iphone etc. How did it get there and how can I avoid this?

  To support the service (and keep free features free), we sometimes run advertisements, and the agreement for this has been in our terms of service since 2006.

  We try hard to only run them in limited places. If you would like to completely eliminate ads from appearing on your blog, we offer the No-Ads Upgrade: http://en.support.wordpress.com/no-ads/

  However, that doesn’t sound like the type of ad we want to run. Please send a screenshot to support@wordpress.com and we’ll report it to our ad provider.
